Synopsis
You can't take an elephant on the bus ... It would simply cause a terrible fuss! Elephants' bottoms are heavy and fat and would certainly squash the seats quite flat. Never put a camel in a sailing boat, or a tiger on a train, and don't even THINK about asking a whale to ride a bike ... This riotous picture book is filled with animals causing total disaster as they try to travel in the most unsuitable vehicles. A real romp of a book, with hilarious rhyming text and spectacular illustrations.

Review
Chaotic, crazy, fabulously funny and full of humorously energetic illustrations, this is a books that promises to evoke giggles of glee from readers fortunate enough to come across it -- Eye * Eye * `... delightfully brought to life with David Tazzyman's quirky illustrations and a jaunty rhyming text. You will laugh out loud as tigers ride on trains, whales ride on bikes and giraffes go on aeroplanes' * The Publishers Association * Kids will roar with laughter at the absurd situations, brilliantly brought to life by the illustrator of Mr Gum * Angels and Urchins * The bold, caricature style illustrations, rhyming couplets, and varying font styles add to the humour * Practical Pre-School * Everything that you could wish for in a picture book, humour, ridiculous situations and imagination stimulating scenarios. Quite frankly, this is picture book writing and illustration at its very best * Being a Mummy * The vocabulary and humour of the book bridges the gap between very young children and pre-schoolers ... * Practical Pre-School * David Tazzyman's scratchy style is a great match to this scatty, surprising picture book * Books for Keeps *
